Pep Guardiola and Erik Ten Hag are looking for players on the market to reinforce their defense and it seems that both have set themselves the same goal, and it is in Italy, more specifically in the city of Naples.
And it is that the year of Napoli has been incredible. Beyond the painful elimination in the Champions League, for which the enormous number of absences that Spalletti had for both games was key, the sky-blue team is having a plausible campaign, dominating Serie A from start to finish and, except for surprise, this weekend the Neapolitan team will establish itself as the new Italian soccer champion if they win the duel against Salernitana.

Of course, the team will try to take steps forward, thinking about defending its status as champions and trying to strike a blow in Europe, but this will not be an easy task, as the club is destined to have a massive talent drain. There are several of its best footballers who aim to leave the squad, since the most powerful portfolios on the continent will make million-dollar offers that the Neapolitan team will not be able to answer. One of the inevitable departures is that of his best defender, Kim Min-jae, who has started a Manchester derby for his signing.

Yesterday we reported on 90min that Manchester City intends to pay the exit clause for South Korea this summer to release Laporte. For their part, United also wants the center-back, as they hope to sign the departures of Lindelof and Harry Maguire and have chosen the Napoli man as a replacement. The money for the transfer is not a problem for either of the two clubs, nor is the salary, so the key will be who offers the best sports project to the central defender.
